He was trying to acquire the rights to the story for more than a decade, but the author Vishwas Patil was not ready for it. Meanwhile, Oak went on to direct two feature films Kachcha Limboo (2017) and Hirkani (2019).[3]

Following this, the cast of Samir Choughule as Battasha, Mohan Agashe as Dadasaheb Saswadkar, and Rajendra Shisatkar as Nana Jondhale were unveiled through teasers. The almost three-minute long official trailer was released eight days prior to the film. The trailer was well received by the audience.[31] Along with the Marathi stars, Bollywood dhak dhak girl Madhuri Dixit and global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas had praised the trailer.[32] Mrunmayee Deshpande was not revealed as part of the cast.

Chandramukhi lives up to the hype."[40] Suyog Jore of Cinestaan rated 2 out of 4 stars and described Chandramukhi as "not just the love story of two unlikely people, but it is also a tribute to Maharashtra's old and rich culture of lavani and poetry."

We know that Bollywood actors are among the highest paid stars and some are even on par with the highest earning celebrities around the world. But, what about artists from regional cinema, like our Marathi actors? If you wondered who among these Marathi stars rake in the moolah, look no further because here's a list of the highest paid actor and actresses.
Marathi cinema lacks the firepower that stars bring to the box office business in most other Indian languages. Many Marathi stars have had parallel careers in films, television, theatre, and more recently, streaming. Unlike stars in the South, or even in the Hindi film industry, Marathi stars do not carry the aura or the exclusivity of a star who must be watched on the big screen. As a result, even films featuring the most popular Marathi stars have registered inconsistent box office openings, such as the example of Swwapnil Joshi films in the chart below. Because a Marathi film producer cannot be assured of a minimum box office opening no matter how popular the star is, making Marathi films a riskier proposition than other languages, despite the budgets being lower.
Another factor that limits the influence of Marathi stars is the lack of youth appeal. The average age of the top 10 male stars on Ormax Stars India Loves (Marathi) is 48 years, while that for female stars is 39 years, which is a notch higher than their equivalents in other languages.
Youth is a key audience to secure a strong box office opening, and the absence of popular young stars means that films must rely on relevance of their subjects to attract the youth. But only a few films like Boyz and Takatak have managed to connect with the youth and open well.
If we look at the last four years, there are only a few studios that have produced and released Marathi films consistently, with Zee Studios and Viacom 18 Studios being the most prominent ones. Because the investment in a Marathi film is significantly lesser compared to other languages, success of a handful of Marathi films lured many first-time producers into trying their luck in Marathi cinema. A total of 263 unique producers have released a Marathi film in the last four years, of which 251 have only produced one film!
A first-time producer lacks the experience and capability to mount and release a film like a studio, who has the advantage of a slate of films, media tie-ups, marketing expertise, and established relationships with leading exhibitors.
A related issue faced by many first-time producers is the time gap between green-lighting the project to the actual release of the film. Many films remain unreleased for a long duration because of issues like budget constraints, lack of marketing expertise, or unwillingness on the part of exhibitors to provide adequate showcasing. When such a film is eventually released, it often bears a jaded look, resulting in instant rejection by the audience.
Due to the lack of star power and the inexperience of the producer, marketing of most Marathi films lacks planning and rigour. In the last four years, numerous films have released just with a launch campaign of just one week. And then, there are many cases where the gap between the trailer launch and the release is very long, even six months at times.
Marathi media, especially television, is part of networks like Zee and Viacom 18, which also have their studio arms producing Marathi films. Hence, it becomes easier for studios to get media space for their own films, while it can be an uphill task for a first-time or independent producer.
The root issue here is that there are way too many releases. 85 Marathi films released theatrically in 2019, which is just a notch lower than the four South languages, which have a a far more sizeable audience base to address (see our Sizing The Cinema report for more).
